The Assessment Center offers the following services:

Accuplacer Online is a computer-adaptive English and Math assessment tool
that is approved by the State Chancellor's Office. Students will be doing
this assessment on a computer. The test is untimed, however most students
will take approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours to complete both the English and Math
portions of the test. Calculators are not needed for the test.

Results from the assessment along with other information provided by the
student will be used to determine appropriate English and Math course placement.

The ESL Assessment is available in place of the English Assessment for students
whom English is a second language. At Chabot we use the Combined English
Language Skills Assessment (CELSA), which is approved by the State Chancellor's
Office. The CELSA is a paper and pencil test and is timed.

Results from the assessment along with other information provided by the
student will be used to determine appropriate ESL course placement.

Students interested in taking Chemistry 1A: General College
Chemistry have the option of taking the Chemistry Diagnostic Test
to fulfill the chemistry prerequisite for this class. This is a timed,
paper and pencil test. If you pass the test you will meet the chemistry
prerequisite for Chemistry 1A. If you fail, you will need to complete
Math 55 or 55B AND Chemistry 31 with a grade of "C" or
higher in order to meet the prerequisite.

Ability to Benefit Test

New Ability to Benefit regulations took effect July 1,
2012. If you enrolled into an eligible program prior to July 1, 2012,
you may be eligible for Financial Aid by passing an Ability to Benefit
(ATB) test or successfully completing at least six units of academic
coursework.

We provide the ATB test upon a written referral
from the Chabot College Financial Aid office. This is a pass or fail
test and is done by appointment only.

Do your Best! Your ATB test results will be used to
determine your eligibility for financial aid and may also be used for
English and math course placement.

Vocational/Career Testing

The Strong and Myers-Briggs tests are available on a referral basis only. If
you are already working with a counselor, you could ask your counselor for a
referral. Please contact the
Counseling Division
